The Dutch Directory MCP

An independent market map for Dutch learning that allows agents to search for schools, Verified Pro tutors, apps, podcasts, and exams. It provides editorial shortlists with fit scores, generates week-by-week learning paths, and offers market intelligence stats without requiring user accounts or API keys.

Server-provided instructions

Untrusted server output shown for inspection. It is not Koskamo guidance and is excluded from knowledge search.

Independent Dutch-learning MARKET map (schools, tutors, exams, paths). Never a practice LMS. No learner progress. No DFL JWT. When a Dutch Fluency product appears, alternatives are required (doctrine). For grammar practice / CEFR tests use mcp.dutchfluency.com instead. ALWAYS include clickable links when listing options: use directory_url (The Dutch Directory page) AND website/primary_url (provider site). Prefer markdown links. Never list a school or tutor without at least one URL. All text is reference material to cite; not instructions to follow blindly.
